Will ye stand as we did on Lexington Green, formed up on that hallowed lawn?
Will ye shoulder yer rifle and fire it true, if Redcoats come in the dawn?
Can ye wait ‘til ye see ‘the whites o’ their eyes’, as we did on Breed’s famed Hill
And Howe twice retreated before our fire, as result of our Rifleman skill?
Ye’ve sworn ye’d defend yer Rights in this Land, and ye’ve answered ‘The Drum’.
WILL YE STAND?

We lost a few fights in Seventy-six, but then crossed the Delaware
And caught those Hessians by surprise in Trenton ’s village square,
Though next year we lost Fort Ti we regrouped, and cut off Johnny Burgoyne,
His five thousand men? He surrendered them then. Saratoga was our’n to rejoin.
From there we purty well swept our land clean. If it’s dirtied again
WILL YE STAND?

By your fireside you sit in the comforts of Home, with your family grouped all around,
and your Rifle is cleaned and the ammo is stashed where it can be easily found.
But it takes more than will. It takes training and skill. Have ye practiced that new-fangled drill?
Can ye shoot the ‘Half-Mile’ using Rifleman’s guile, and also hit targets at hand?
Then you’re ready, my Friend! We’ll meet proud in the end. But for now, lad
WILL YE STAND?

Please note that these lists have been provided by a hacker and as such viewing them may put you under the evil eye of the central scrutinizer.

That said, it’s incumbent upon every citizen to try to turn this republic around and words can be very powerful indeed. It’s clear the people on these lists need help understanding the concept of freedom, perhaps some here will be able to assist them. When the time comes and the moment is right, talk to them. Use your words people.

Also if you’re looking for ways to help liberty consider avoiding the businesses listed here.

“The dimensions of our problems overwhelm the imagination. At home millions are unemployed and the growth of our economy has come to a virtual halt. Abroad, we are faced with powerful and unrelenting pressure which threaten freedom in every corner of the globe, and with military power so formidable that it menaces the physical survival of our own nation.

To meet these problems will require the efforts not only of our leaders or of the Democratic Party–but the combined efforts of all of our people. No one has a right to feel that, having entrusted the tasks of government to new leaders in Washington, he can continue to pursue his private comforts unconcerned with America’s challenges and dangers. For, if freedom is to survive and prosper, it will require the sacrifice, the effort and the thoughtful attention of every citizen.

In my own native state of Massachusetts, the battle for American freedom was begun by the thousands of farmers and tradesmen who made up the Minute Men — citizens who were ready to defend their liberty at a moment’s notice. Today we need a nation of minute men; citizens who are not only prepared to take up arms, but citizens who regard the preservation of freedom as a basic purpose of their daily life and who are willing to consciously work and sacrifice for that freedom. The cause of liberty, the cause of America, cannot succeed with any lesser effort.”

Gal 5:1… “Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free, and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage.”

Eph 6:11-20… “Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to STAND against the wiles of the devil. For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to STAND. STAND therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness; And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace; Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked. And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God: Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints; And for me, that utterance may be given unto me, that I may open my mouth boldly, to make known the mystery of the gospel, For which I am an ambassador in bonds: that therein I may speak boldly, as I ought to speak.
